Is there a rough date of when 016 will be working or is it a case of "when it's ready in a few years".

Hope it can be used for "Railtours" as these will be sold out very quickly.

It'll be a good few years yet, maybe 1 or 2.

Any decision on a livery? The group's done great work, the class should never have been withdrawn as early as they were.

Thanks for sharing the video It highlights the astronomical amount of work needed to see a Diesel Loco preserved! Am i right in thinking 016 is the only 58 in preservation so far?

Ps tremendous work Adam & the group, you are superstars in my eyes

The livery should be "Trainload Coal" & it's depot plaque of "Toton Cooling Towers" added.

You're in luck then, as the chosen livery for 58016 is Trainload Coal triple grey. Cracking stuff
